Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks for your hard work on DriverPacks, you have saved my vegetarian bacon a few times now. Has somebody documented the driver pack update process? If I have some free time, I am happy to help.
I have got around my current issue by insert the Chipset and lan drivers into the image. My Company is in the process of ditching an old Altiris for Microsoft SCCM and for the past while driverpacks has filled the gap for deployment. If I can help let me know.
Hi Overflow - thanks for your help
Yes, I found this beta updates but I am looking for x86 updates. Also the the dates on the BETA files are from early 2013.
I love this tool! I have noticed on certain hardware that some devices aren't found the first time around, but if I run the tool again the devices are found. I can see the logic in this, let's say that in order for the webcam to be found the usb/usb3 driver needs to be loaded first.
Is there a way I can order the driver loads ie chipset first, USB, other? Or is there a way I can run the tool twice in an automated fashion?
Hi OverFlow,
I must be looking in the wrong place, I can only find updates/nightlies for NT5 and not Windows 7.
Hi again,
Just spent the time to see how these packs are working and realised I can update the drivers I require quite easily, will test and see the fruits of your labour.
Hi,
I have been successfully using the driver packs for the past two years. We are currently bench testing some new HP laptops and desktops with I7 chipsets and sadly the driverpack installers fail to load chipset, network drivers, USB3 and video card drivers on the new hardware. I see the driver packs haven't been updated for a while. Is there a planned release soon?
I am looking for NIC drivers for the IntelL217 and L217LM/V. Gobi 4G, Intel video driver, Intel USB 3 driver for Intel 8

It seems I am telling porkies. It appears that I need to run the driver install twise in order for it to find the usb ports on the front right of the laptop. If I can help diagnose this issue let me know what you require. Regards
As a part of our Windows 7 image I install SEP12 shortly after the drivers. It seems that until SEP pulls its policy and updates the USB mouse is a donut. I have seen this before on an XP machine also. Not sure what it is obviously something that is disabled in the default SEP installation.
Ignore me, Symantec Antivirus strikes again. It seems that SEP policy was killing the USB ports. All HAIL DriverPacks!
Hi,
I have one 32bit Windows 7 image that I am deploying to all HP machines thanks to this wonderful driver pack. Up until yesterday, this has worked for every HP device I have thrown at it. The only thing the driver packs doesn't do for us is install an Erricson mobile driver [no biggie].
We received a new shipment of HP Probook 6570B laptops yesterday and I test deploed my Windows 7 image. It did everything as usual, found the network card and joined the domain etc. It wasn't until later that I discoved that the two USB ports on the front right of the laptop weren't working, all other USB ports worked fine.
In the device managed there were three devices not found. The fingerprint reader, the HP disk movement protection and the broadband driver mentioned above.
I went to the HP site and decided to download the correct drivers. However, after downloading and installing all correct drivers the front right usb ports still weren't working. I plugged a mouse into the port and the mouse LED remains lit until the windows drivers are loaded, then it goes out. I booted the machine using Ubuntu and it found the mouse and USB ports without issue [got to love Linux!]
OK, so I have the wrong driver being loaded and it is breaking it.
Just out of interest I reimaged the machine and I noticed that the mouse port remained lit and active up until the point where the driverpacks loaded the drivers, so windows seems to have what it needs by default.
I am just not sure what to delete to make it work again. Any suggestions, where to start?
Regards

OK. To cut a long story short I owe apologies to MS and DriverPacks.net. The bizarre issue I was having was to do with the DevicePath entry in the registry. At some point this entry had changed and no longer looked at %systemroot%\inf for drivers.
All sorted now.
OK. Humble humble apologies it appears that it is a windows update that adds a second version of usbport, usbstor, usb.inf in c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository
Should have guessed it was Microsoft. :-)
Mumble grumble roar!. I will fix it in the image before it deploys.
HI,
I am using the SAD2 driver pack with the deployment of Windows 7. I have noticed that USB drives work on the Windows 7 box prior to sysprep but once deployed to other hardware stops working. To cut a long story short there appears to be an issue with the versions of usbstor.inf, usbstor.sys and usbstor.pnf. Prior to the running of the SAD2 tools there is one set of USBSTOR files in the c:\windows\system32\Filerepository after the sad2 tools runs there are two copies. In c:\windows\inf there appears to be a mix match of versions of usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf files. They DON'T match the version of usbstor.sys in c:\windows\system32\drivers.
If I replace the c:\windows\inf usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf files with the version that matches the usbstor.sys file in c:\windows\system32\drivers and then delete all usb devices in device manager and refresh they are correctly discovered.
With the mismatched versions usb devices such as pen drives are discovered but do not appear in explorer. They show as unformatted drives in the drive manager.
If I can identify where the extra version of usbstor.inf, usbstor.pnf and usbstor.sys are coming from then I can probably fix my issue.
At the moment, my deployment of Windows 7 works perfectly except that no usb mass storage devices work without me correcting the usbstor files in C:|windows\inf and then deleting the USB devices in device manager
Any ideas?
Ok Ignore me. I assumed that the clean up process would leave the installed drivers in the folder c:\d when in fact the clean up actually wipes drivers that don't match ie. it deletes 64bit and server drivers if you are running a workstation that is 32 bit. It is a shame that it doesn't track what it is installing and just keep the installed drivers. I guess there is no point when they are being installed into windows anyway.
I am going to set the KTD option to "No" and wipe the drivers after installation.
Hi,
I recently stumbled on driverpacks thanks to a wonderful post on the FOG project forum. [ http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/win … #post-1639 ]
I am imaging Windows 7 and the whole process is fairly well automated thanks to the driverpack. I have tried deployment on a number of HP laptops and it all works well. I have once very small gripe. I thought the cleanup process would strip away any drivers not being used. The drivers folder that remains contains 3Gb of drivers. Now I must confess that I may have broken something as I decided I wanted to use c:\drivers instead of c:\d as the drivers folder. I simpy did a search and replace on c:\d and replaced with c:\drivers in the file DP_Install_Tool.cmd. This may broken the cleanup and I can't see how.
Any suggestions? I fig that the drivers folder should be only 100mb or so not 3gb :-)
c:\drivers is left with 6 folders - 3 [3.41Gb] ,all [1.23Gb],c [76.3Kb],l 41.1Mb] ,s [738Mb],win7 [580Mb]
